Published on Friday, 10 Sep 2010

Civil engineering and construction firm AECOM is seeing constant growth and it is in need of new recruits.

At present, its Asia operations are on the lookout for engineers who specialise in the transportation, geotechnical, civil, structural and MEP disciplines. There are also openings for urban and environmental planners, landscape and urban designers, and architects.

The company works on iconic, large-scale projects all over the world. These include the new Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Kowloon and the Crossrail project in London.

"Working with AECOM provides employees with an international platform and an opportunity to be a part of projects that impact the lives of others," says Dimi Crossley, the firm's talent acquisition manager for Asia.

"Being a company that believes in diversity and investing in people, employees are given opportunities to develop their potential while being part of an internationally diverse workforce."

All new hires will receive extensive on-the-job training, allowing junior members of staff to learn from senior colleagues.

"Locally, we also put graduate engineers through the Hong Kong Institute of Engineering Scheme A training programme, and our staff are offered the chance to work on secondments overseas," Crossley says. "We welcome people of all backgrounds and personalities.

"What we look for is commitment, innovation, desire to excel, and ability to succeed in a team environment."
